Thanks :) Love reading how the far far past influences what we see today. Trying to build a mental map of how endogenic systems of the planet create the field on which exogenic systems play on.

Your link's led me to the Warren Bioregion in SW Australia, and to what extent its geological/bioregional sibling to parts of South Africa.

To be pedantic, the article referred to the Nuna Supercontinent[0] as the main one and the 2nd being in the reply above..

These details were hidden in the linked paper (which is mostly hidden behind a paywall).
